Episode notes
Severity of Aortic Stenosis
- Critical aortic stenosis can be unforgiving and fatal if missed early.
- Regular vigilance and early detection are crucial to prevent sudden deterioration.
Awareness Of Valve Disease
- Most patients today know about their valve disease due to better cardiology care.
- However, gaps in follow-up due to COVID and reluctance to see doctors keep some undiagnosed.
Cautious Management In Stable Patients
- Avoid aggressive diuresis or venodilators in stable patients with critical aortic stenosis.
- Diastolic dysfunction makes them sensitive to preload reduction and can cause rapid decompensation.
